Very many people do not realise that this life and death struggle in other countries…” He adds the point that in other countries people are dying. He talks about will the deaths of our people be made in vain. He accuses Australia of these things making them feel guilty and therefore willing them towards voting for conscription. This emotional blackmail is evident is all pieces of his work and of his government.
Context: It was written as accurate manuscripts of speeches given by W.M Hughes. Since Hughes was for conscription there was bias towards conscription. The speech was heavily biased into making people feel guilty for not going to war and tries to make people vote for conscription.
